Can anyone explain how a tax cut is worthwhile,

when you make less than $60K and own nothing? Chump is pushing tax cuts again.

I can see the excitement if you have portfolios and investments, but for my pay grade, I call bullshit.

I want cash (eww) money, not a percentage of my already low tax bill.

Are people being played by accepting a trickle down reward?

I dread that bill every year. And it’s due all at once.

The move afoot to eliminate property taxes has my ear notwithstanding its proponents. Ever since my siblings and I had to sell off 40 acres of my parents farm solely to have cash to pay property taxes on it has never set well with me.

the high and low. the tax code is riddled with scams to let wealthy people shelter their income.
nobody should be able to deduct food and drink. everyone has to eat. where you eat is a total choice.
tax code is paying for those expensive restaurants

Tax cuts, tax cuts, tax cuts... that's their only solution for anything.

The whole point is to help his rich friends. He doesn't care about anyone else.

And the only way to get it back is through tax cuts.

It's a reversing of The New Deal.

Chump is only concerned with wealthy folks.

This is one thing Joe Biden “got.”
